qotd: Not a big sports fan, but having seen this with my Dad on dvd and hearing it referenced over the years many times, I’m going with the the 1958 National Football League Championship game on December 28th that went into sudden death overtime between the Colts and the Giants. Baltimore took what I’ve heard many times referred to as the single greatest football game ever played.

    I love Italian whites but I’m sad to say I haven’t tried a Gavi. I will remedy that situation on my next wine buying mission.

    QOTD: Being at Busch Stadium with my wife and two daughters when the Cardinals won the 2006 NLCS. I had been to playoff and World Series games before, but having my family with me made this one the most special.

    QOTD: Secretariat winning the Belmont in ’73. I was 10 years old and watched it on our little black and white TV. I still get goosebumps when I see the race or hear the call.

    According to Raycerx”

    “My guess is wine #5 was a wine he shouldnâ??t have bagged as hard as he didâ?¦and heâ??s trying to think of how to reverse things.”

    Maybe… But if things were really that bad, they probably would have pulled or delayed the episode, right? I dunno. I’ll be equally as frustrated if this is just some “marketing” gimmick.

    QOTD: I guess the sporting event I enjoyed the most was a Syracuse Crunch hockey game. I took my boyfriend to the game on his birthday this year, and it was more like we went to a fight and a hockey game broke out. I dont usually like to encourage violence, but when it comes to hockey, I love it when they fight … there were at least half a dozen fights in this one game. Blood was drawn, players were evicted… and we won. it was great.

  • QOTD: Favorite sports moment.. there are many but I would say when Kirk Gibson hit his 9th inning, 2-out 3-2 count home run for the Dodgers in the 1988 World Series against Oakland to win the game.

    Good episode, I gotta order a bottle of that Martinetti to see what the buzz is about!

    QOTD: 2003 ALCS Yankees vs. Red Sox when Aaron Boone hits the walk off homer. Shame they didn’t win the World Series that year.

    QOTD: I had a really great time in my last year of Babe Ruth Baseball (17 years old). It wasn’t if I would hit the ball it was where I would hit it, the gaps, etc. In one game I hit a double and a home run in the first inning (we had a 17 point lead in the first inning). Our team destroyed the competition and I had the second best average in the league (off by one at bat as it turned out). That said, my favorite memory in sports was my daughter’s AYSO soccer experience last year.

    Nice episode. I’ve had the Villa Spirina (not the 2006 though) and like it quite a bit.

    QOTD: My favorite sports moment? As a participant, it was getting a walk-off RBI single in the play-offs to advance to the finals a couple of years ago. As a spectator, it was early September of 1995 when the Cleveland Indians clinched the AL Central title to get back to the post-season for the first time in 41 years. Now they still have to actually win a World Series!!! 🙂

  • QOTD: Kelvin Hayden, in for an injured Nick Harper, intercepts Rex Grossman’s pass with 5 minutes left and returns it for a touchdown, virtually sealing the Colt’s victory in Super Bowl XLI! Oh, and any time Bob Sanders lays somebody out. It’s a thing of beauty!

    As for Gavi, it is one of the few Italian whites that I have not had. I will definitely be getting some for the summer, though! Congrats on another great show!

  • QOTD- #1 is Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, Kirk Gibson’s HR.

    #2 (even though hockey sucks) is the 1980 Hockey Team beating the USSR. Do you believe in miracles? YES!

  • QOTD: In the first grade I was on the tee-ball team. Well, during a practice I hit the ball unfortunately – yet directly – into the hands of the boy I liked, making me ‘out’… and I was so embarassed because everyone knew, and made a joke like I did that on purpose. And the boy’s fatehr was the coach of our team, too. It was mortifying at the time, but I really cherish that memory because its so cute!

    Around seven years ago, I joined a group of broken down ball players who decided to barnstorm Cuba for two weeks.
    My memory is batting against a Cuban National pitcher in complete uniform, stroking a single off him inside Habana National Stadium.
    Afterwords, we enjoyed dinner with Omar Linares, perhaps the Brooks Robinson of Cuba. Salud!

    I have tried Peidmont area wines but no Gavi. Will check it out.

    QOTD: 1994 Florida State vs. Florida, 31-31 tie after FSU being down 31-3 in the 4th Quarter. I have never heard a crowd louder. It was a win in my book.
